What Anapol Weiss does

Anapol Weiss is a Philadelphia-based plaintiff-side law firm founded in 1977 that represents individuals in personal injury, medical malpractice, and mass tort litigation. Its practice spans motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, sexual abuse and assault claims (including institutional and rideshare contexts), civil rights, and appellate advocacy, alongside a deep mass tort docket covering pharmaceutical products, medical devices, toxic exposures, and consumer products. The firm's mass tort pipeline includes prominent MDL engagements such as Depo-Provera, Talcum Powder, Ozempic/Wegovy, Uber and Lyft sexual assault, Roblox child exploitation, Elmiron, and others. It operates from five offices (Philadelphia headquarters, Scottsdale, Dallas, Minneapolis, and Washington DC) and has produced aggregate verdicts and settlements of approximately $4.85 billion (pharmaceutical liability), $1.40 billion (medical devices), $765 million (class actions), and $1.6 billion for 104 sexual abuse victims, among other results.

The firm operates on a contingency-fee model with no upfront costs to clients and free initial consultations; revenue is generated as a percentage of recovery, with cases typically structured as multi-year engagements. Client acquisition is sales-led and distributed across referrals, attorney relationships, content marketing (blog, video library, legal publications), earned media, speaking engagements, and direct client intake. The firm is owned and operated as a partnership of attorney shareholders, with no disclosed external private equity, venture capital, or parent ownership.

Operationally, Anapol Weiss pursues scale through court-appointed leadership in MDL proceedings, co-counsel arrangements (e.g., Andrews & Higgins in Roblox litigation), and selective lateral acquisitions such as the integration of Walsh Law with shareholder Alexandra Walsh. The firm is differentiated by female-led legal teams, bilingual (English/Spanish) staffing, and recognition including Forbes America's Top Lawyers 2025, Best Lawyers in America 2024, U.S. News Best Law Firms 2025, AV Preeminent rating, and Super Lawyers. No technology products, APIs, or AI-driven service offerings are part of the practice; service delivery is conducted by qualified attorneys across its five locations.
